Rather than people being paid to put in comments that link to a site to increase search status, the comments are engineered to make who the content is about look good.

I'd add to those issues another concern: blog spam (a.k.a blam) / spam blogs (a.k.a. smogs). While blog spam (of the trackback / pingback variety) is growing, forcing higher profile sites to lock down their systems, the real concern I have is from algorithmically generated spam blogs (complete blogs which are themselves spam) designed to flood search engines and indexes with skewed information. Of course, this directs us back to art. One person's blam and smog is another person's algorithmically generated digital fiction....
